The deputies found four ounces of marijuana and unspecified items related to drug sales and distribution, the release said. Deputies then got a search warrant for the business and a residence they said was related to Hernandez.

At the house, in the 12000 block of Bryant Street, deputies found meth as well as code violations that led to citations that closed off most of the property as uninhabitable. Four Yucaipa residents who were at the house were arrested: Michael Gardner, 34; Aaron Moron, 20; Denise Piiwaa, 51; and Joseph Ronquillo, 37.

Investigators then returned to the business and seized meth and illegal prescription narcotics, the release said.

Detectives in Yucaipa have made nine felony arrests related to illegal narcotics in the past month, the release said.
